What about an openvpn with correct routing? In this case your clients router 
is the server, your machine the client and the server pushes the routes for 
the connected network. Works very well here both for us employees checking 
into our business network on weekends/evenings and also to our clients. And it 
works with x2go, rdp, vnc, ssh, heck, we even have connected cups-printers 
over this...

Have fun,
